Is the AI in rFactor 1 reasonably good, such that you set up a good race against the AI at any track?

For a challenging race against the AI, should I set AI strength to 100%, and are there other AI settings to consider?

One more question - for GPL I can look at GPL rank to find a good benchmark time for any track.  Is there such a list of benchmark times for rFactor 1 tracks?  Or should I use the AI laptime as a benchmark?

Thanks

For laptime comparisons check some of the online leagues for rf.

The AI is decent but can be vastly improved with some tweaking, the individual driver files have numerous adjustments and the field overall can be tuned in the track files.  Once you have balanced all these to your satisfaction (probably never, if you're like most of us  ....an ongoing project)  the ingame strength adjusts for each race.  (Keep ingame strength at 100 for all driver and track adjustments, only changing for actual races, this keeps a common baseline for all drivers and tracks which the strength will modify equally.)

You will find much more on these topics at the Racedepartment forums, most of the rfactor and GTR2 crowd went there with the demise of NoGrip.  (Both sims use very similar AI files so data regarding tweaking applies to both, though actual numerical values may vary greatly, and one sim may have adjustments not in the other.)

Found this buried on external HD, excerpts from an old NoGrip thread on tweaking rfactor AI.
